Exclusive: Rolling Stones, Green Day Lead 'Guitar Hero Live' Set List

By Daniel Kreps May 12, 2015

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy, Skrillex and Ed Sheeran also among artists on first 'Guitar Hero' in five years

The Guitar Hero franchise is coming back in 2015 after a five-year hiatus, and now Guitar Hero Live has revealed the first 24 songs from its expansive set list. The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Keys and Green Day are among the initial wave of artists that will contribute music to the upcoming game.

Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, two bands on hand for the Guitar Hero Live launch party, will also lend tracks to the newest version of the game. This incarnation's eclectic lineup also features newer acts like Alt-J and the War on Drugs, guitar heroes like Gary Clark, Jr., heavy metal greats like Pantera and Megadeth and, most surprisingly, a handful of artists not associated with guitar heroism, like the Lumineers, Ed Sheeran and Skrillex.

"This is something we gave a load of thought to. Guitar Hero – by its name alone – has always been associated with classic rock tracks. And we know fans really love that type of music. So we wanted to make sure those fans weren't disappointed," FreeStyle creative director and studio head Jamie Jackson tells Rolling Stone. "But it's been 10 years since the first Guitar Hero game came out. When you think of it like that, and think about how much the musical landscape has changed since then – that's where we've been able to explore some new types of musical style as well. Guitar music is broader than it's ever been – so we're reflecting that in the range of music on offer."

Among the new features on the revitalized Guitar Hero are a more realistic controller/instrument – no more deadly orange pinky button – and a 24-hour music video network called GHTV, "the world's first playable music video network." Game creators Activision says the channel will allow participants to play along to official videos across various genres and challenge other online players of the same skill level.

"The great thing about GHTV mode, which is the world's first playable music video network, is it gives us even more scope to broaden the songs on offer," Jackson said. "There are going to be Rock channels, so if that's your bag you can spend hours competing with people to your favorite tracks. But if you fancy mixing it up, or want to play something else than you can just flick channels and find something else to play."

Guitar Hero Live will also present the game from a first-person perspective, allowing gamers to almost interact with the crowd and their bandmates on screen. "If you start dropping notes and messing it up, not only are the crowd gonna turn on you, but so are your band members as well, because you're effectively ruining their career as well as your own," Jackson said. FreeStyle and Activision partnered on Guitar Hero Live.

The game will be available on PlayStation 3 and 4, Xbox One and 360, Nintendo Wii U and, for the first time, mobile devices. The set list below is the first batch of a weekly rollout that will eventually include hundreds of songs. Guitar Hero Live is scheduled for release this fall.
